Why is it a good idea to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving baseball?

Physics

qaws [65]3 years ago

Answer:d

Explanation:

It is good to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving ball so you can pull your hand back, increasing the time to slow the ball thus decreasing the force.

While catching impulse is being transferred to hands imparting great force, lowering hand would increase the time so that average force decreases and chances to drop the ball also decreases.

A helicopter is ascending vertically. a passenger accidentally drops her wallet out the sides of the helicopter when it is 160 m
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(E)56.0 m/s

Explanation:

Height =h=-160 m

Because the wallet moving in downward direction

Time=t=7 s

Final speed of wallet=v=0

We have to find the speed of helicopter ascending  at the moment when the passenger let go of the wallet.

v^2-u^2=2gh

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

0-u^2=2(-160)\times 9.8

u^2=3136

u=\sqrt{3136}=56m/s

Option (E) is true

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

It is<em> impossible</em> to construct a machine which produces the <em>work output greater than the work input.</em>

Let us consider the II law of thermodynamics.

According to Kelvin Plank's statement any engine/machine does not give hundred percent efficiency. And violating the PMM-II(Perpetual motion of machine II kind), Always some amount of energy transferred  to the sink or surroundings.

Therefore

                     W(ouput) = Q₁-Q₂

There are many reasons to lower the work output, just for an example friction between the mating parts reduces the work output.

A man takes 20 seconds to climb 5m up a ladder. He weighs 720N. Calculate the power he must deliver to do this.
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

180 W

Explanation:

The work done by the man against gravity is equal to its gain in gravitational potential energy:

W=mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 720 N is the weight of the man

\Delta h= 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(720)(5)=3600 J

The power he must deliver is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 3600 J

t = 20 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{3600}{20}=180 W

A family is skating at an ice rink. The 58.2 kg mother is holding the
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

a_{y} = \frac{Fdadshandy}{msys}

then you fill it in :

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{35.5kg+58.2kg}

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{93.7kg}

a_{y} = 1.0672 m/s^{2}

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

T_{2} x= m_{2} a_{y}

T_{2} x = 35.5kg (1.0672 m/s^{2})

T_{2} x = 37.89N

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N
